Draw Plants Together Workshop as part of Aussie Bird Count

Join this friendly and inclusive nature drawing workshop as part of Aussie Bird Count week. No experience needed!

We invite you to explore plant drawing in a supportive space and to meet the living species of Cherry Street Grassland Reserve.

Drawing invites us to observe nature in a mindful way, helping us notice what’s really there and to form more intimate connections with our surroundings.

It’s also a fun way to connect with others and celebrate the biodiversity of Darebin during Aussie Bird Count week.
